Do peaceful clownfish exist? Which species?

[Reef AquaCult]

I have a breeding pair of ocellaris clowns and the female is NASTY! Attacks any fish that is not 4-5x her size. I couldn't add any new smaller fish to my 150 gallon reef tank so I took the pair of clowns out and put them in a temporary jail tank. After being in the tank for a month, I reintroduced the clowns back to the main tank which now has several new fish including cardinal fish and blennies. The clown female is again attacking all the smaller fish, so I permanently removed the clowns and now they are in solitary confinement forever. I really do love clownfish and would like to get a new pair of a new species but I would like to minimize my chances of this happening again. Does anybody have any suggestions? I do like the galaxy clarkii clowns Ive seen. Another option would be a new ocellaris pair that grows up with the rest of the already existing fish. BTW anybody in west central Florida want a pair of mean clowns? Also like maroons but I know they can be aggressive.

Everyone seems to forget that clownfish are damsels, and like the rest of the damsels they can be nasty. The peaceful ones are ocellaris.

Good point, mine are ocellaris and Im not sure if I have a particularly mean one or if they all get mean after getting established.

Nesting pairs are particularly nasty. Had one in a service tank that would chase my hand clear across 6ft to bite between my fingers the moment my hand touched the water.

They're savages I tell ya, they're savages. I guess i'll find out soon, as I bought a pair yesterday. It seems to be hit or miss, but maroons seem to be the most aggressive. This has been discussed at length here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/clownfish-are-savages.665309/unread and a few other threads
